kind of foreign intervention now let's listen to that and it's members. of the federation. of the state duma just a few months. already close in my march presenting our position are. you or. at the sure it is you me determined by winning in national covering all the areas so our work of our life is the thing in the economy social issues domestic politics would be international affairs security. in those documents. another the last of all can we presented to the picture with the security center to access which is the explaining our plans and we have already started to implement some of those plans like increasing teacher's salary saying

some other things. for no not all the other issues even the bus we have provided necessary for less laws and regulations we have started on the stone of this work and i can assure you that surely that we will continue doing that and we will implement everything we have planted so in this because then we have set up a special commission to oversee this war and he would know it's only of course to him he is going to stand in line with the first state of the nation address after the presidential election will not go back to those plans and it's too early to see some adjustments to those moments even though i will mention some of those things one you got there today i'd like to talk about fundamental issues related to which opens the movement forward. because your fundamental not only for your meter early perspective but also in the long run for russia's development these are

fundamental issues that sit relate to each one of us in the over the first twelve years of the new century which we have used up with that why you know a lot of people in us tell me it was a very important. past got to know we need to set up the femur so you might trip you up and the russians ratio would that would if you show she and i want you all to understand that the next few years will be extremely important when you know not only to us but actually for the whole world could be the world is answering a new city each of the cordon will change as we go to see whether you don't have your evil's was a word with local development he's. around. when these conflicts emerge you're shaken couldn't say that competition for resources is getting excel for i can assure you colleagues point of the. darling if you can see this is not only

competition that you people medals mineral resources that you are there is competition for human resources who are into that yet and as we discuss the issue of literacy of their use will become outsiders void it gets the nuts and it depends on the we love their relation it's going area we have energy which i guess nervous . in the states is risky and married seats. capability to live on as george developed is even to philippine curly serious opposite young adults but if their population is secure in the customs new growing living standards and new opportunities which is not there but when ordered to do it and prove why not put aside the sustainability you ruled that we need to achieve a new tibia law and order and this is a step toward it we're in one of the many parts of the world health problems in the country we cannot become. a thing with it will become a leg. up where that stands and these share of global power to do business is set

up by a little here will be much much less than the leading the countries of padilla if you look at the way that make wealth is distributed between those countries who produce intellectual property and other good trees and. who just said you can. produce manufacture of the final product. which fifteen to eighty five percent where you should you know you've got enough when you're in the twenty first century and it's one where you're in the news here last night when you balance of civilization on military was the sort of the rush of the country we should develop steadily and we should preserve our national identity and that's what we should not lose their selves as a nation we should remain russia. which they seem you know if they want to quickly after seventy years of a soviet rule to the russian people here in the necessary and actually just me again resorting to your private interests and this is perfectly normal what. you

need working for yourself is has a limit you get there is a boundary you cannot achieve well he's outside your house you because i have do you so water and security you cannot leave all by yourself without was helping us but those who are weaker and weaker and caring for the others outside. your family or our society or business with more and more people coming to this realization city people in the united front that you become more and more of the world so look to that is also the route to their caring for others people around them for it the nation in general james says when you were named her self-esteem what you got going to do use december the twelfth constitution the film of the you know we'd like to luncheon with some that day i'll use that we have represented in there a chance to. get it and then usually evolution of like a universal responsibility for. what is the fundamental principle of the rest going

to state that the it's. your responsibility you to the truth most of all these things are what i think is the stronger foundation for our problem. with but that is what the new book to be truly for your message that is not just mean that you love me but with respect to reduce or even though this is important is that on you primarily to me son serving your nation or serving your country your country your soldier needs and said you got patriotic as we send their sentiment to be for the society who are not the best most gosh there is has not been learned which is simply a responsibility s.l.m. a nation especially a multi-ethnic they exist if there is no sense of general responsibility for the nation i listen i have to with words all of them but if the when and what you need is not just slogans people need to see you dead even if i were to use a train a spear intended to authorities are now working real hard because and for the nation for them for their region it does not work is that you know when it gets the

authority media nursling which no matter what people own lives there and care the society would have a strong developmentally that whatever that you studied it was. i think you know north of. we need to know on the national worry and in tele to what does it mean for russia to be sobering a country in the twenty first century and we often discuss this tuesday first of all we need sufficient resources for our country if you want if i'm not meeting you doing just to be an ineffectual everything within the country nobody lives this way in the world anymore and i don't think any of us that anybody here will believe who rushes shoot at us no emotion geopolitical and we sustain and he will not meet us shoot or be we wired invites neighbors and this into the water when you were told this was our economy or a technician or a hole and sure our diplomacy specialist it was they were special in terms of the

collective you have for its on the international arena in the more shit of course this also applies to our military strength which guarantees our security and independence. because with all the difficult process is taking place in the world dangerous so brush air require that we see their actions go forward looking what are the future of calling us. about that or your i mean the twentieth century alone or russia passed through two world wars and a civil war where as through the revolution by the twice we went through the interests of the disintegration of a. country had several drastic changes so far in the tyro and lifestyle meant as a result in the beginning of the twenty first century we faced similar gratification and overall catastrophe is that nothing is a serious crisis people spring and if a nation needs an able to work reduce itself to preserve itself if it loses its

they'll use in a huge deal as you move so you don't even need in the summer outward enemy because everything we're listening to can read all by itself and i have often referred to as merely used to have all of the many times mentioned ways for russia to be strong and we. more people and we need better people i mean in terms of thinks competence of skills. i see today economically active the population of russia which was some twenty one for youth forty years and it was really. just we're one of the most populated countries in the world but in the twenty years when you feel it may be just popping economically active population if you're used by fifty percent i mean unless we do something this tendency will be seen you know we need to provide interesting the way to the jobs so the opportunities to be created with businesses building. and we have many children will be happy but in their own country could

you see unless we do that here decades russia will become half that who are all over the. country in the direct sense of the word from the state and if you don able to preserve its integrity and even if it's territorial the demographic program that we have a job that is healing is going on the mainly because taking no worth twice the population has stabilized and growing and i was living with this year is our population grew by more than twenty we've that's two hundred thousand people really for the first time in our recent history and we saw the actual increase of the population. are pretty much it's not that to bear. the birth rate is finally what sort of you know really what i saw you tell us the rate of. life expectancy has grown by too many have years this is very good it exceeded seventeen years. but which it was didn't tell the rate is still quite high especially the news media

early here that we need that it's the new york to overcome this irresponsible attitude in their work society has toward which is healthy lifestyle and we need to pay more attention to preserving in the church and here. when you my name is of course this doesn't mean. we will be less attention medical and you think you can hear us that you know but medicine to love is not enough to get on with the mission the government should introduce. place in case artists and dangerous jobs with name and with and take measures to improve traffic safety and you know that smoking alone holism drug addiction. claim sundries of thousands so he lives there nearly it is important work in the to develop. actionable sports he thought as a system to moderate people to. poor whites but he stays them make it something he

has this is why we were you know he's meet your sports events in our country that you're but if you support them this sort. of it was all that you needed to making sure sports are popular on the space cannot be achieved by international sports events alone and even by increasing the number of well you for classes. but we need comprehensive improved kinds of things especially if your children are with us. in the know with young ages that literally because this is the age where you develop your had it for the rest of your life i also think it is important to create. collegiate of the east with the sports associations that with them and with that. there will be a social level of a two or four tell them to give to young people thank you but you have them. at the same time i believe it is important for you that such organization

should be outside politics whatsoever if you choose to deny to young people of various political affiliations so we have a policy of providing so-called motherhood can. two families there to give birth to their second children it will be in effect until the end of the year two thousand and sixteen i mean we will definitely meet all of our commitments as regards this policy it was to its full extent i would like to emphasize once again that this policy is. in effect until two thousand and sixteen and so well all families who deliver a second child will receive. preferences. and this so-called mother capital that i want to. encouraging women on purpose to give birth to children for money but i want them to know that

the government will be there behind them and starting from two thousand and thirteen will start paying it dition. bonuses to families who deliver third child region where the demographic situation is worse than the average across the country. that will be at the funeral of the most there are quite a few constituent parts. of the federation in russia is that in russia but over fifty most of them in central russia. and in the russia's far east and besides i would like to remind all the heads of the constituent parts of russia that the need to pursue their own regional. demographic develop into policies of progress in their respective regions i'm with the democratic experts it note that once again he delivers a second child to you this is a testament to their readiness and willingness to deliver at their age i said and i

am convinced that the norm in russia should be a family with three children. but still a back today and. we need to do a lot that we need to provide there should have been a bill and environment for women in the first place so that they would not worry that delivering a second and more children would bar their way to a good career good job and would confine them to being a housekeeper to being. a homemaker and that is what we need to have education programs for retraining for four females and. employment support policies that this will definitely affect a family sure whether to have more children but we will definitely need your. you work with preschools and kindergarten is it would we need to support the

establishment of private once the government has already put identity way with me obstacle to that and i request you to finish that work in the first half of the next year now going to request the regions to use their own opportunities to that way and that if we need to open a small size in the gardens and extended day groups at schools in every single region and city we need to provide families with an opportunity to put their children in kindergartens without ques and without wasting much nerves we need another long standing problem or pressure to resolve and that is the housing issue this is something that the federal government as well as the regional government should address thanks to our housing and we have managed to increase the span of housing credits which i am ahead of pace of him

twenty some twenty percent a year but we know that housing loans are something that the people with medium and high and high taxes. they rest and we need to make such loans available to the broader schrader's of russian society including technical experts. the academics and so on and we need to make an economy class housing available as well as renting opportunities for russia's population and there are probably projects in several regions of russia which practice the policies of support for rental housing markets which could mean i would like to emphasize that so in two thousand and thirteen two thousand and fourteen will be fully meet our commitments for providing housing to military personnel would end pensioners and we also need to finish up. our dreams of. replacing you now dated and shabby housing with new

ones we have we still have a large number of russian citizens who are waiting in queues to be really catered to new apartments instead of their old chevy or it's what we have put ourselves out of which to create twenty five million jobs by the thousand and twenty it is a difficult task but we can accomplish it we can help people find new interesting jobs. like you will keep patients quality jobs will be a locomotive for growth of wages and for an increase in the of life in russia we need to do it with restore our engineering. skills and the preparation of qualified labor force. by. request by the government to develop a program of. resorting of occasional training in education in russia.

of market public employees ok i have earned themselves quite a dismissive attitude in russia back in the ninety's but at the same time these people are the backbone of our economy they're professionals and they're also part of the so-called creative class. earlier called intelligence he added i mean. teaches. people who work in the area of culture and entertainment but there are people like that in every tells you've been diligent city in russia but there was a level of wages in salaries that does not meet the average in russia and therefore a very professional development. and because of the opportunity to enjoy life as they should when the government used to underpay the most employees in. passed in the first place because we had other issues she would receive much

more acute ones such as any cruising we mentioned. the elderly were in an even more dire situation in russia and with many of them were living in poverty but nowadays we can deliver cardinal changes in russia as a social sphere and i've laid out my initiatives in my decrees and in my space. between the election articles that they have already mentioned we have provided to increase in salaries and wages for every category of public employees they like and question goes to the regional authorities to mobilize all of their resources to meet these things but you know just because these are my election promises he said even though it is necessary to deliver on your promises but it's not just that the . it is that that we need these commitments he needs to do we will resolve the key issues like you can first of all over have just the many crucial increase

in the quality of medicine and education because we have a new need you know young professionals are coming into their jobs and the existing professionals will have an opportunity to focus on their patients give up their part time jobs and that the whole to earn more money and make a living on the world also managed to deal with the problems such as low level corruption and we can differ and so on all of it will serve society well we will have a twenty five percent increase in the number of russian citizens who will have the economic opportunities of the middle class especially in russia's regions to be of every viable to so-called provincial intelligentsia. even the people who were professionals and moral backbone of russia at all times we certainly will give. incentives to the professional associations of medics educators culture

workers full of such communities must become the backbone of an active. civil society and even at that it is important that this is the must be. capable of. evaluating the quality of science and education at the moment i request the government to establish a system of public money touring of education medicine and other series by the end of the next year we need to attract professionals to this activity and we need to look at international best practices of this enabling i would like to stress that it would be a mistake to see the program. of development. of professional development as issue a policy of increasing selling the use of the we need to look into the professional qualities of each and every worker with every sphere and every industry they need to have their own policy or progress for replenishing c.

and their personnel and. new professionals. we all talk of the need to restructure serious industries in a series of life but as soon as a restructuring starts the whole of russia starts complaining don't touch that and don't change this don't fix that. we need to give up this kind of attitude that we need to do it want to do away with this deal if we realize that something should be done and it needs to be done and we need to do it at the same time we need to be rational and careful in our approach of my agree with those who believe that. such activities require dialogue with professional community we need to explain our policies to those me and i request that the heads of media outlets the leading journalists to lay special attention to the two reforms in these areas as a priority of national development that i'm. convinced that increasing the quality of payment in the quality of life

a little question will swell attract more promising legal passionless from graduates he's really nice here who he's. already can see that has been me and he'll be nice with the number of medical school graduates that compared to economists and law school. we already have more students enrolling in education with departments at universities choosing evocation of an educator maybe your colleagues we see the results of what was happening. in russia in his government. society in his family's in the past fifteen years we're seeing it now various cities and he tells ships across russia and it's understandable back then in the fifteen years ago that the outdated. mindset of for the soviet era was discarded but at the same time together with that with those ideas and ideology we also

shunned some moral values only in today it backfires you know readiness to abide with corruption extremism i think behavior and. for the way this all becomes ugly and takes the aggressive forms option in there provides a long standing threat to russia security any three existence and your colleagues they were never going. to say this it pains me to say this is what i have to be doing today if the russian society has a dire lack of spiritual ties and spiritual system. but gives back. mutual help and assistance. that he deal with there's a lack of something that used to make its drunker and more for him. all historical period. we need to do to support the institutions that. the traditional battle

you suffer and have proved in history there keep ability to pass on these ideals and values from generation to generation from they must. protect these values from you but you're not instilled in me you know instead wish them that he's. trying to impose that would be a sign of totalitarian tailbone the totalitarianism and that is it bad that we're not about to take action we need to take a bath of prohibition of strengthening. and that is why issues of education. spiritual education culture. and increased significance no days that is important bringing up if you can be responsible citizens of the russian federation. please let us remember that we have to. school bus the slope of schools influence the

formation says he's been reduced over the recent years. internet so. much more influence. students can ukraine and their parents have many more demands so school has to keep up with. the information which may be actual should be had of the it was measured up maybe to different schools should be an absolute to tell you need to improve the quality of education which is at the same time we should be letting our traditions such as fundamental. but when we should remember about the quality of teaching the russian language. secular ethics and traditional religion unis are allowed basic subjects. to student encounters or to.
